The telnet came back with....."Could not open connection to the host, on port 25: connection failed"
I can ping the server using the IP address direct or the server name (proving that the DNS is OK) and I have a packet sniffer that I used to trace the connection when I used Outlook Express so I know that the port is active as the sniffer clearly shows the connection to port 25 on the mail server.
